While Kia‘s vehicles have been getting better and better looking thanks to the brand’s new design chief, Peter Schreyer, he doesn’t seem to be satisfied penning sedans, crossovers, and compact coupes. He revealed that he wants to create a halo sports car or convertible to attract more customers to Kia.

“I think Kia needs a [sports] car like that sooner or later,” Schreyer told Automotive News, “but at the moment it’s not yet the time to make any promises.”

Schreyer added that Kia has no such car in the works and it’s more of a pipe dream for him at the moment. Once Kia, which has experienced sales growth despite the recession, gets on “more solid footing,” however, we may see Schreyer’s desire come to fruition.

If Schreyer can convince Kia‘s top brass to do a sports car and convertible, we know he’s plenty capable of delivering a stunner. Prior to taking Kia’s top design post in 2006, he was with Volkswagen for 26 years where he worked on both VW and Audi vehicles including the original Audi TT.
